Taoism is when someone goes with the flow. Not everyone follows Taoismbecause they would either make more money or pressured to do something else. Taoism isn't just a belief it is a religion because it is the way some one lives their life. Taoism is more common in some place then others like the west. An example of Taoism is if you want to be a teacher but you are offered a job with more money you would go with the teacher because it is what you want to do.

Are we living in a fanasty? I think we are all living in a simulation and at anytime someone from the real wakes it could end our world. In an article I read it states there is a 50% chance we are living in a artificial world. In all of these video games now you almost feel like it is you in the video game. It is similar to creating artificial intelligence because you plug it in it can think and and when you unplug it it is pretty much murder. So you should think is this world really real

the story of Moshe Yosef Daum and Fela Nussbaum is related to the story of job. It is related because god always says the Jews are his favorite people but he hurts them the most. During the story of job god tortures job for a bet and during the other story he is torturing all of these Jews from the holocaust. God thinks that it is so funny to torture all of these innocent people who look at him as the greatest and most powerful man in the world. God is testing jobs fate and all of the other Jews from the holocaust fate to see how much they obey him. He just wants to have control of everyone and have all the power in the world.

The story of job is similar to other stories in the Old Testament. It is similar because it is showing how god loves to tease people and he likes to prove that people obey him. If god had so much power how would he not know how much some people obeyed him. In the story of job god made a bet with Satan That job will still love god god no matter what he does to him. So god tortures job and kept tortutring him for doing nothing. This relates to Abraham because god makes Abraham kill his son and when he was about to do it he stopped him because he liked messing with people

So far, the best thing about high school is lunch and free periods. I like high school because we can leave school during free periods without an adult watching us. High school is a lot different then high school because everyone has different lunches we have a lot more freedom and we have more work. This brings me to the worst thing about high school. The worst thing is we have a lot more work and homework. Everyday after school I would go home eat a snack then have 1-2 hours of hw. Also every week we have twice the amount of tests as middle school. Overall I think high school is better because we learn to have freedom and we Learn how to work hard so we get prepared for college and be succesful.

this story is the story of a flood before Noah's ark. This story took place in ancient Mesopotamia. The mesopatamian gods decided to wipe out humankind because they were to noisy. One god ending told a man to build a large round ark. Ending was telling the man exactly how to make the ark, what materials and and what to do with the specific materials. Another god told him it needed to be 3600 square feet and the wall needed to be six meters high. This flood story is related to Noah's ark because Noah's ark was based of of this story. It is similar because both story involve a ark and both story's have the gods telling people to build the arks. Noah's ark is different from this because as the story has been passed on it becomes more fictional so the story of Noah has 14000 animals and the storm lasted for 40 days and 40 nights.
